I've had my 200 since spring, it was my go to reel when in the surf(litteraly) I also put it on my eel boat rod. I can't decide whether or not I should send it in. I do want to protect my investment but I can picture them opening the reel to find ZERO wrong with it and taking my $. whats your take?
They do need to be serviced. It looses a little bit of oil everytime you crank the handle. Eventually it will run dry. I service mine at home. It is pretty easy after you have taken it apart the first time.
The warrantee is 1 year if not serviced yearly then if it is serviced yearly then it is for life. It contradicts it's self. but that's how I understand it
I have a friend who has 5 VS's he sends them in every year and they have NEVER charged him for parts. Another guy I know skipped a year and then sent his in and got a pretty ugly bill for parts + the usual service fee.

Is the VS warrenty only good for the orginal owner? I am thinking of trying one out and there seem to be a lot of used ones around but if the warrenty is non-transferable that could make a difference.
